Merry Christmas!

from Indiana Jones, Molly and the rest of the Wilkersons.

little sneak peek

 Drew started working on Molly's room in August.  He was hoping to have it done before Simon's arrival, but Simon came a couple weeks early and well anyway...  I don't think I've posted anything about it really. If you've ever come to visit you've seen our extra room in the basement.  If you haven't seen it then you can't fully appreciate all the work Drew's done. 

 Before there was a closet that covered the window.  You also had to go through that bedroom to get into the laundry room.  

Now there is a small hallway.  straight to Molly's room a quick left into the laundry room. 

 Farewell to the cheep plastic-y paneling and drop down ceiling.  Hello drywall and can lights.

 Molly's closet.  It doesn't look very big in the picture but it's the best closet in the house.  It'll have double doors.  Molly will have no trouble filling it with all of her dresses and shoes.  :)

 when we bought our house we inherited a couple dressers.  We gave one away and I've been working some magic on this one.  It's made well, just dirty and a little too ornate for my taste.  (It used to house my maternity clothes)  now it's a bright turquoise with fancy pulls.

 This is the carpeting that used to be in the room.  I realized I didn't have a picture of the carpeting while it was sitting on the curb so I ran out to snap this one.  It was hideous.  It took over a month before the carpet people could install the carpet we ordered.  It's in now Yay! 

Molly has been in her room for a few weeks now.  I was a little nervous.  She's never had her own room and she doesn't like the dark.  Well she's braver than I thought.  She LOVES her room.  She's never complained or expressed any concerns.  The transitions been smoother than I expected.   

The current room pictures are still on the camera.  Stay tuned and at the rate I'm going you'll get to see them sometime in March ;)

southwest community fair

At the southwest community fair (10/13) we rode ponies.

 {One of the most frustrating things right after you have a baby is still looking like your about to have a baby.  :(  But I guess I always have more to lose.  Your only supposed to gain what 35 lbs.  I always surpass that.  What can i say I'm an overachiever?}

 fed some animals

 went down a giant slide

 played in a helicopter

 (what a great dad.  Drew hates these things, but he took Lincoln anyway)

painted pumpkins, decorated sugar cookies, got balloons and danced to a local band.  Not a bad way to spend an afternoon.
